Oil-Free Comfort: Strengthening Sewage Systems in Tokyo

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is taking initiative this October to enhance the well-being of its sewage systems through the "Oil-Free Comfort! Sewage" campaign. This campaign emphasizes the importance of keeping grease and oil out of drains, as solidified oil from kitchens can lead to blockages and unpleasant odors within the sewage pipes.

As temperatures drop in autumn, oils are more likely to solidify, causing more severe drainage issues. To counteract these risks, the Tokyo sewer department is appealing to residents and businesses alike. For the 25th anniversary of this effort, the campaign slogan, "Don't Pour Oil Down, Adopt Good Habits", will be on full display throughout the month to encourage an oil-free lifestyle.

Campaign Overview

The campaign runs from October 1 to October 31, featuring several activities aimed at raising awareness about the importance of proper disposal of kitchen oils. Key highlights of this month's agenda include:

• - Kick-Off Event: The campaign will commence with an exciting event at Urban Dock Lalaport Toyosu on October 1, where participants can enjoy informative sessions and receive an exclusive tote bag for visiting the website.
• - Exhibits at Local Festivals: Teams will set up booths at community festivals to spread the message.
• - Special Exhibition: The Tokyo Rainbow Sewer Museum will host a dedicated exhibition throughout the month, exploring the topic of oil in sewage.
• - Digital Media Campaign: Look out for ads on social media, websites, and YouTube promoting the campaign.
• - Community Engagement: Utilizing the catchy phrase "Sewage Smiles" as a part of promotional efforts.
